Radio



One of those heart warming movies that inspire you to do your best regardless of your circumstances. Radio, a nickname given to the character played by Cuba Gooding Jr. is a person who's somewhat retarded. He has problems and no one really gave him a chance. Instead, they outcasted him and let him wander the streets alone day in day out.

Ed Harris, who plays a football coach, took it upon himself to educate the boy and take care of him. He taught him football... basketball and how to live with others. It was based on a true story and it's an inspiring movie because Radio inspires the people around him to be the best that they can be.

It also shows the ugliness in competitive sport and how people get outcasted and picked upon. Yet, acts of kindness will change the way one sees another. It's a touching movie. I definitely recommend it.
